cads: but I'm actually pretty ignorant about the topic and would love to talk to someone that could help me sketch out the expected phases if a research project intending to produce option valuation model

mircea_popescu: a joke, he says.
smickles: well, considering it was a joke, i don't think we made solid arrangements
smickles: or they are just letting the matrix slip out a little
smickles: it might even be such a good thing that it's why our species has done well

mircea_popescu: "1. The entity may have discovered a method for increasing mining ROI, and essentially, is earning its 50 bitcoins per block"
smickles: maybe 65-75 will be the range for a while
smickles: maybe it works like this because large mine-ops want to exptect and force a given profit leve once they startup
smickles: well, everytime since ~jul 2011, when it gets this profitable to mine, it begins to be a lot less profitable to mine. caused by eithr diff increase or price drop. since we expect the diff to increase, the price may stabilize
ThickAsThieves: that sorta means it goes up either way, no? of course that's been the best guess for a while now...
smickles: if anything price lags behind diff as the miners try to sell at profitable rates, but for a while, i think most miners have not been cashing out. so it's not a good metric

Bowjob: "Maybe they can come up with a bitbitcoin worth $25.00 ..."
Bowjob: "a bitcoin is worth $72.50? are there any smaller denominations because otherwise these things wouldn't work that well outside large transactions. i.e. I'm not buying a pizza with 1 bitcoin when it means I'm giving the pizza joint a $58 tip."
unbalanced: or more like owning a call for free?
tiberiusiv: selling a TA subscription is like selling call options
